Humans in the Loop
@Surfpool is where developers start their Solana journey.
Started a year ago, used by thousands of developers, its maker @ludovic, who recently launched @Axel, just announced joining the Solana Foundation.
Always be cooking!
@ludovic @fmerian Copy-on-read with local writes comes from VM snapshots and DB forks, but applying it to Solana state is what separates Surfpool from a toy validator. Cheatcodes like surfnet_setAccount cut setup from minutes to seconds when you're iterating on program logic. Hardest part of building this kind of tool is simulating transaction ordering and MEV pressure locally... team being upfront about that gap is a good sign. IaC for swapping local keypairs to production signers would turn this from a testing tool into a deployment workflow.
